This reminds me of the recent five day “doctors” drama series – sorry. As a (often depressed) writer, I sympathise with the bloke’s situation. But I don’t take bad reviews quite that bad.
The last paragraph, I feel, is a little rushed but I don’t think there’s any way to alter that. Perhaps it adds to suspense.
Well now it’s just getting disturbing. Not a big fan of the woman as automatically helpless and under the control of the man, but I’ll forgive that for the sake of brevity.
